There are six ways to set properties: * By supplying both the name and value attribute...." I am setting in prepare, but when I call another target it does not have the info: <target name="prepare"> <!-- Create all the time & date stamps for the build and for the directories --> <tstamp/> <property name="FTSTAMP" value="${DSTAMP}-${TSTAMP}"/> <!-- Make all the directories after getting the label from StarTeam --> <mkdir dir="${drive}\${buildir}\${label}-${FTSTAMP}"/> <mkdir dir="${drive}\${buildir}\${label}-${FTSTAMP}\${brlabel}-${FTSTAMP}"/> <property name="local.dist" value="${drive}\${buildir}\${label}-${FTSTAMP}\${brlabel}-${FTSTAMP}"/> <target name="CopyBRBuildArtifacts"> <description> Target: This target copies the BR images to the build directory. </description> <echo message="CopyBRBuildArtifacts local.dist: ${local.dist}"/> <echo message="CopyBRBuildArtifacts FTSTAMP: ${FTSTAMP}"/> As per ANT output: CopyBRBuildArtifacts: [echo] CopyBRBuildArtifacts local.dist: ${local.dist} [echo] CopyBRBuildArtifacts FTSTAMP: ${FTSTAMP} prepare: [mkdir] Created dir: D:\br_builds\testlabel-20041103-1612 [mkdir] Created dir: D:\br_builds\testlabel-20041103-1612\brtestlabel-20041103-1612 [echo] Prepare local.dist: d:\br_builds\testlabel-20041103-1612\brtestlabel-20041103-1612 [echo] Prepare: 20041103-1612 I must be missing something, or is this a 1.6.2 problem, or has anyone seen this issue? I did this in 1.5.2, and it worked, but???? Does any one have an idea? Thanks in advance!
